MILLER, SIMMOHON VREGUIATOR Reader, did you ever take Simmons Liveb Regulator, the "Kino of Liver Medicines T " Everybody needs take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or diseased liver that impairs digestion and causes constipation, when the waste that should be carried off remains in the body and poisons the whole system. That dull, heavy feeling is due to a torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache, Malaria and Indigestion are all liver diseases. Keep the liver active by an occasional dose of Simmons.Liver Reg ulator and you'll get rid of these trou bles, and give tone to the whole sys tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver Regulator is better than Pills. It does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly refreshes and strengthens. Every package has the Red Z stamp on the wrapper. J, II. Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia. WISE HEADS MEET. Something, May Drop in Connection With the W. & C. R. R. . j In referring to the meeting of W. D. Tyler, president and general manager of the 0. & W. T., ex Governor Miles C. Moore, Frank W. Paine and Paul F. Mohr on the 23d inst. in Tacoma, the Times, of Seattle, conjectures that the object of the meeting was to consider either the disposal of the Hunt system 6r placing a line of steam ers on the Columbia, thereby being independent of either the 0. R, & N. or Northern Pacific. It says: . "The Hunt system is owned by C. B. Wright, who is now in the east, and Mr. Tyler manager of the system, has just arrived from the east. It may be that Mr. Wright bas been again endeavoring to ef fect a sale of the road to some other line. -. Perhaps he has been again unsuccessful and has adopted a new tack, lne Hunt system was offered to the Northern Pacific, but the figure named was consider ed much too large, and nothing was effected. The the O. R. & N, was approached, but no , sale was made. It is said that the. North ern Pacific could not use the road to advantage, and also that the O. R. & N. does not need the line; its own road already taps the Bame country reached in a lesser way by the Hunt system. The only pre sent condition under which the 0. R. & N; would touch the Hunt line would be the consideration of a very low figure sufficiently low to admit of the buyer, clearing in terest and a little more besides. "These conditions now comfort Mr. Wright, and he probably finds hi property unsalable. Now, Mr. Mohr has a portage and steamboat scheme with the Columbia river as the basis of his operations. The Hunt system connects with the Columbia river at Wallula, and it may be that the meeting in Taco ma will result in the formation of a plan whereby the grain belt tap ped by the Hunt line will be en abled by Mohr to ship wheat to sea without depending on the 0. R. & N. or the Northern Pacific at all. In this event, and were the Hunt line and Mr. Mohr's steamers to quote a low rate, the combination would very probably get a big slice of the Eastern Washington business. Were such a deal to be consummated it might force the 0. R. & N. to buy the road at a satis factory figure meiely for the pur pose of getting it out of the way. It is not at all unlikely that the meeting between Mr. Mohr, Mr. Tvler and the others will result in just such a proposition as has been out-lined, and.n sucha'dealia mads will not surprise any one, for" it has long been foreseen." Wanted to Be an Editor. ' i a . A schoolDoys-composition on "The Editor," ran as follows: "The editor is one of the happiest ani mala in the known world. He can to go the circus, afternoon and even ing, without paying a cent, also to inquests and hangings. He bas free tickets to picnics and straw berry festivals, gets wedding cake sent him, and sometimes a licking, but not often, ' for he tan take things back in the next issue which be generally does, i lever knew only one editor to get lickt. His paper busted that day, and he couldn't take nothing bac!:. "While other folks have to o to bed early, the editor can it up late every night and see all that's gome on. The boys think it big thing to hang out till 10 o'clock When I am a man, I mean to be an editoi, so that lean stay out nights. Then that will be jbully. The editor dont have to saw wood or do aqy chopping, except with his scissors. Railroads get upexcur Bionsjforihira, knowing if they don't he'd make 'em git up and g:t. In politics he don't care much who he goes for if they are on his side. If they ain't h6 goes for 'em any way, 60 it amounts to nearly the same thing. There are a great many people trying .to be editors who can't see it, though. If I was asked if I had rather have an edu cation or be a circus rider, I would say, let me go and be an editor." Perhaps You Know Him. It is said a man who won't buy a paper because he can borrow one has invented a machine by which he can cook his dinner by the smoke from his neighbor's chim ney. This same fellow sit? in the baGk pew in church to save interest on contributions, and is always borrowing a ride to town to save the wear and tear on hinown horse flesh. Yes, you know him. He's a first cousin to the man who never winds up his watch for fear of breaking the spring. He un doubtedly was a near relative of the man who went intb the back yard during a cold snap last wint er, soaked his hair in water, let it freeze, and then broke it off in or der to cheat the barber out of a hair cut.- Exchange. , A Centenarian. , The Grant's Pass Courier has the following regarding a survivor of the war of 1812: Hosea Brown, the only survivor of the 1812 war on the Pacific coast, celebrated his 103d birthday at the home of his grandson, Orr Brown, near Wilderville, Lane county, on the 19th of this. month. The old gentleman was born in New Hamp shire and came west into Ohio when about twenty years of age. He was only some 20 days in actual ser vice'.in our second war with Johnny Bull, but the government gives him $50 a month pension. He has been helpless now about eight years, and when Harrison was elected in 1838 Hosea was brought to the polls in a chair to vote for him, being pre ceded by a band of music. This was at Drain in this state. The centen narian although yery deaf, loves to talk of old times when he was a boy and "has a memory as perfect as in childhood. He was never married but once, his wife leaving him for he great beyond at the age of 65, some 35 years ago. ." Hunt is All Right. A gentleman from Corvallis who was in rortland last week states that one evening while strolling down the street his attention was attracted by an immense crowd on one of the thoroughfares of the city. Going to the scene he found it to be an open-air gospel meeting. There was nothing unusual about this, but imagine bis surprise when the lady who had charge of the meeting introduced G. W. Hunt, the railroad contractor, as speaker of the evening. The Cor vallis man says he spoke with much eloquence and feeling, and was given the closest attention throughout. Money From Hoes. In Eastern Washington during the past two weeks, says the Day ton Courier, about 5000 fat bogs have been purchased by buyers from Portland, the Sound and the east, and the demand still contin ues at from 3 to 31 cents. There was shipped from Colfax on Friday last a trainload of .13 cars of hogs for Chicago. The cars were load ed at Dayton, two at Starbuck, one at Jindicott and the rest in the fa louse country. This industry is be coming ot groat importance to Eastern Washington. It is stated that over $15,000 have been DUt in circulation in the counties of Whit man, Columbia, Garfield and Aso tin during the past three months from the sale of hogs. Reduction In Rates. TheO.

The Unpleasantness of 1877 Brought to Mind. , Newspaper accounts of the Ban nock uprising in Jackson's Hole country, brings vividly to the minds of manv Umatilla countv residents the days of excitement in 877, when Joseph and his blood thirsty. band ofNes Perc'es were making raids and leaving trails of blood and devastation behind them. ' Joseph was in Lewiston the other day and called on the 1 ribune man who has the following to say of him : "Chief Joseph visited Lewiston Saturday for the first time since the . unpleasantness of 1877, in which he was the moving and re- tv..-T . ii. .l ponsiDio genius. inuring tnai ittle excitement Joseph headed the Nez Perce warriors on the one side and on the other Ed. McCon- ville commanded the volunteers, and was practically governor ot the state at the same time. Satur day Joseph and Col. McConville called together - on the Tribune, they haying since become firm friends and admirers. Joseph is the hereditary and sovereign chief of the Nez Perce Indians. His blood is as red as Gen Howard's is blue arid is as . ardent as Sitting Bull's or Geronimo's. In 1877 Joseph, then a fiery and impulsive ad of 22 or 23, had arranged with the governor to occupy the Wallowa country, across Snake river from lewiston, but Uen. Miles insisted on herding them in a smaller com pass, and Joseph took the war path.' His campaign through Nez erce and Idaho counties is still a fresh event to many inhabitants of both. Col. Conville defended the country with the volunteers, as far as bis small force permitted, and ncidentally took a hand in the scrap whenever he could get there. Joseph had 250. warriors and the federal government undertook his capture with Gen. Howard and ,000 regulars and Gen. Miles with his troops who advanced irora Montana. The Indian losses were trifling, but scores of innocent sol diers fell in Indian welfare. Jos eph constantly eluded and puzzled toward until finally the soldiers captured and killed 3,000 cayusos that was the Indians main hope, and the war was practically over. ndians can never fight or run on foot. So Joseph came in ani gave himself up. The government first banished him to Yellowstone park, then to Leavenworth, and ater to Indian Territory. Nowhere was he contented. He pined, and wilted away, and his heart grew sick and sad for the land of his kindred and the scenes of his boy hood. So Joseph was brought back and placed on the Colville reservation under , nominal sur veilance. And though thus very close to the land of his kindred he has preferred Id keep just that far away from certain scenes of bis boyhood. Joseph is now fat and bulky and uncommunicative, except in the vernacular, which he handles with ease and volubility. His followers instead of being banished to Yel lowstone park, were simply given red blankets, improved rifles and the Nez Perce lands which the gov ernment has ' recently purchased back from them and which the whites will soon be scrambling over, lne volunteers who protec ted home and families from the raid of Joseph's band still have their claims pending settlement be fore the ' congress of the United States. Joseph will remain in camp near the Lapwai Industrial bchool a few days longer, or as the races last, before returning to the Colville reservation. He is very anxious for Col. McConville to return with him and take charge of the school there." DEHORNING. A Writer In Live Stock Report Gives His Views. "Dehorning" in 'America or "Dishorning" in Great Britain is a subject that has received wide at tention during late years. The immense benefit of this process to feeders, though to cattlemen gen erally. is well known. We do not at this time intend entering into ,the subject at all extensively or treating of the methods, out mere ly desire to say a word , as to the effect dehorning has upon the sale ff w of cattle. This refers, more par ticularly, to cattle grazed in and shipped from-the great pastures of the stales in the west .The subject is again brought to our attention by reason of the fact that a few days ago we handled a bunch of prime beeves from Ohio and that hooked one another very badly, greatly injuring the sale of the stock. In order Co accomplish the best results the cattle must be dehorned when within a year old. They then readily recover from its effects. If they are dehorned at two or three-year olds they lose flesh un der it, their energy dies down, and it is almost impossible to get them in good shape for marketing. Then late dehorning is most painful to the stock, which accounts for their losing flesh and vitality under it, -and is an inhuman practice. The horns should bo removed while etill soft; the operation is then a practically painless one to the ani- ' mal.. The topic is timely at this season of the year and is too im portant to neglect. Buyers in the yards can hardly be induced to look at beeves that have goujed and hooked one arother. There is no doubt that it affects the slaughtering of the cattle mater ially. ' ' ! Sad Accident. Esther, the four-year-old daugh ter of A. B. Jones, of Walla Walla procured matches in the house, went into the back yard where she lighted them igniting her clothing. The child's screams brought the mother to the rescue. A blanket was thrown about the child and the cruel flames smothered, but not -until the little one was burned to a crisp. Tho sad accident oc curred Wednesday, of last week. The child died the next morning, Grasshoppers in Morrow County. The grasshoppers are bad in Morrow county. Frequent reports ; of their ravages have come from ; the dryer and less favored portions of the county, and now it seems they have reached the neighbor hood between lone and Gooseberry where good crops of grain and vege tables are the rule. In that vicin ity the grain is too far along to be seriously damaged and will make a good yield, but the grasshoppers have taken everything green, in- I eluding the leaves from the trees, and it is feared that they will kill fruit and perhaps the troes them selves. ; . The Placers of Canyon Creek. . The Placer mines of Canyon creek, Marys ville andPrairy dig gings have produced one-half of the gold taken out of different placers f - .1- - . . An rrvrt rrn in me county, or over z,ouu,vw. Canyon creek is credited with $2,000,000 as its " output. Over 4,000 men were employed in 18ff4 on the creek. With the exception of the Humboldt mines no hydraul ic mining bas been done, the work consisted of stripping off the ground to within two feet of the bedrock, says the Grant county News. The remaining gravel was wheeled into sluice boxes and wash ed. Wages were"$5 per day, and nothing but the richest parts of the creek worked, The east side of creek below Canyon City was not considered rich enough and has not been worked. The dirt stripped off varied in depth from 8tol6JJfeet, all of which prospects well. It is claimed by all of the old timers yet residing in the county that not one-half of the gold has been taken out of the creek. Americans in Bad Company.
